Despite the loss of federal investment in renewable energy and climate action, community microgrids offer one promising intervention for supporting energy resilience at the
Distributed energy resources (e.g., storage, demand flexibility, microgrids) and making buildings more resilient. DERs can be flexibly harnessed to support the grid by: • Reducing peak
Thus, the aim of the work presented here is to improve the energy resilience of a hospital through the installation of a microgrid consisting of a photovoltaic system working together with a
Microgrids that incorporate renewable energy resources can have environmental benefits in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. In some cases, microgrids can sell power
This report highlights the objective of the NY Prize microgrid feasibility studies, provides background on the technical approach used in the analysis, and also outlines fundamental considerations for
To address these challenges, the microgrid will include a rapid solid-state switch to protect the microgrid from grid disturbances. NLR collaborated with Caterpillar to test a prototype utility-scale
Microgrids are localized energy systems that can operate independently from the traditional centralized electrical grid. They typically combine renewable energy generation (solar
Expanding the grid to reach far-flung customers can be a costly fire hazard. So some utilities are testing out microgrids using solar, batteries, and generators. Michael Gillogly, manager of
A microgrid is a collection of controllable and physically close generators, managed in careful collaboration with local loads. By relying on a variety of generators, a microgrid system avoids many
